King of Hollywood Chapter 47: New movie boot

Chapter 47 The New Movie Turns On

On February 2, 1995, Adrian took the "Brave Heart" crew to the Scottish Highlands, and he planned to shoot the film in two months. This is not an easy job. You should know that most of the shots of "Brave Heart" are outdoors, and there are war scenes between the two armies against each other. Two months is too reluctant.

However, Adrian also has its own support. First, it gave enough time for preparation. The team sent out traveled throughout the whole of Britain, and chose many castles and scenic places that can be used for shooting. Under the guidance of the production of a large number of props and costumes in line with the times. Of course, this is not absolutely the case. A historian objected to the Scottish long skirt. The Scots of that era did not have the tradition of wearing skirts, but considering the difference between the English and the Scots in the movie, so Under the persistence of Adrian, reservations were still granted.

Secondly, he is very familiar with the film. In the past life, he has carried out a very detailed analysis of the film, and there is also a good director basis-even if it is only a director-and in the past few years The copied classic movies have a deeper understanding in this regard. Therefore, as long as the plot is not significantly modified, it is not impossible to complete the shooting within two months.

When doing this kind of thing, the really smart people will try to ensure that the plot does not change. You should know that even if the same director shoots the same film without knowing it, it may be quite different, even Spielberg may not. When the prospective audience has appetite. Oh yes, you think it’s better to modify in this way. You can make the movie more exciting by combining future evaluations. Don’t forget, this is just your thoughts, and your thoughts do not represent American thoughts

Maybe this will be more exciting, but it may be defeated to a greater extent. People’s appreciation levels are different at different times. "Brave Heart" may be shortlisted for Oscars after the year, but want to win the award almost impossible. What are the advantages of the reborn? It's because knowing what makes money and what's popular, is it not stupid to be short and avoid long?

Even if Adrian knows the popular style of "Yù Wangdu", the adjustment of the first season relies on the heart and soul of the team. The people who think that they modify the plot are probably only those legends. The guy who has the protagonist aura of "I say that such a modification will be popular will definitely be popular".

Okay, back to the topic, Adrian has such a good idea, but God doesn’t seem to plan to make him so smooth, just on the third day when he came to a town called Gertner in Scotland The jet lag just happened, the matter was ready, and the whole British island began to snow.

“It’s a hell, the weather forecast says it’s the warmest winter in the UK’s history, and it’s impossible to snow in the next two weeks.” In the wrapped hotel room, Adrian looked through the window at the snow outside hua said depressedly.

The snow is actually not too big, but it is enough to affect the shooting. In fact, he is also aware that February is the coldest time in the UK. At this time, the shooting will definitely be affected, but this year he has two movies to be produced. Time is not particularly abundant.

"If the weather forecast can be believed, what else in this world can't be believed?" I don't know who said that, and suddenly caused a low laugh in the room.

"You should be fortunate that at least Xue didn't get a good set and was about to come down at the beginning." When Adrian turned to raise his eyebrows and wanted to say a few sentences, another female voice rang first. At this time, only his beautiful female secretary could speak in such a careless tone.

"Okay, it feels a little more comforting to think about it." He said this after watching Charlize for a few seconds, and then waved to the others who called him: "Then use the alternative."

As the producer and director, Adrian said so, the principals didn’t have much to say, and they got up and prepared to go out. As soon as they opened the door, they heard an exclamation, and then a guy rolled in.

"Emma?" Adrian looked at the girl who stood up with the support of everyone in a funny and funny way.

"I just just passed by, I promise," said Emma, ​​who slapped the body, panicked and twitched, trying to show that he had absolutely not eavesdropped on the door.

"Okay, you guys." Adrian stepped forward to her head in the laughter of everyone, and then looked at Charlize: "Take Emma back to clean up, Charlie, we may return in the afternoon London."

"Go back? Why?" The guy looked up and looked surprised. "We have only been here for a few days."

"Because it snowed, our work was forced to stop, so we have to go back." Adrian squeezed her face, "Don’t forget what you promised me, Emma."

"Okay, okay, I know." The girl said unhappily with her mouth pouted, and after looking at Charlize who came over, she said again: "Why can't you help me clean up, Ed?"

"Because I have something else," Adrian said patiently, "Is it okay, Emma?"

"I've always been very obedient." Emma said, taking Charlie's hand actively, but she didn't let go of her mouth.

Charlize shrugged with a "you see" look, then Adrian smiled and bowed down in a "Please" posture, then the freshman went out and waited until the room door was closed. Breath out.

How can I not go to Emma’s house without taking her with me when I come to the UK? Otherwise, if the guy knows it in the future, it will be awkward for a long time. So after Emma promised to never obey 1uan, Adrian took her to the crew, and Rodlinf did not have any opinions. At first, it became a habit, and secondly, their mind was always on their children. A little more.

Okay, there may be a day or two of delay after returning to London anyway. By the time, it will be a compensation to accompany the guy. Anyway, no one else can visit. Adrian originally planned to take this opportunity to go to Edinburgh and take a look at Jk Rowling, but I don’t need such a close approach for the time being. Anyway, the first book has been completed, Rowling is still making final changes, and it can be published at the end of the summer vacation, so I'll talk about it later.

Going to the window and looking at Xuehua outside again, Adrian couldn’t help but chuckled, because of the visit, he suddenly thought of Rachel ? Wei Zi, this Cambridge University graduate talent now seems to be hiding from him . The heroine who took over "Amateur Steal" in Prague last year immediately returned to London. She didn't come to Los Angeles until the film was about to be filmed. Adrian went to the studio twice and she avoided it. When she finished filming, she returned to London the next day. I ran back every other week and made several shots.

Occasionally I still receive calls from Adrian, but I usually hang up in a few words, and there is always uncertainty in my voice. This time Adrian had planned to visit her by taking the opportunity of shooting. As a result, after making a phone call, she arrived in London and realized that she had already gone to Los Angeles. The agent in the United States had a suitable role.

Interesting woman. Adrian rubbed his chin so thought, would she not know if she had a role in the United States? But in this way, he can roughly deduce some deep-seated things. This lovely, beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m, extremely book-like temperament woman is moderate while curiosity is strong The sadomasochistic consciousness, think about how to go to netbsp in those two times; in fact, every woman has curiosity and sadomasochistic consciousness, otherwise why the more mysterious and inscrutable men can attract women? As for sadomasochism, if not, how could these women stay with him without knowing it. The painful and happy feeling is an irrepressible thorn for women who feel like it.

However, like Rachel , curiosity and sadomasochism are more clearly separated, but at the same time they are entangled and cannot be separated, and the women who are hidden deep and are easy to get out of people like Adrian have hardly ever experienced, so His interest in her is quite strong. Avoid it? It doesn't matter, since she has promised to play the role of the female president in "Independence Day", it means that she is still walking step by step with his arrangement, as long as it remains like this, she will be written by him sooner or later. Can't escape in the palm of your hand.

If British women are as book-like as she is...Adrian thought of this and shook her head with a smile, the mediocre woman has the same mediocrity, and the beautiful Taobao women Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m women It has its own beautiful Taobao women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m, just like Cate is like... the woman I met at the Cindy Crawford party that night.

Adrian did not talk to Catherine Zeta Jones for too long. Cindy quickly found it, then said two words intimately in front of Zeta Jones, and then left. Although he saw the flash of disappointment in Zeta Jones’ eyes, he did not intend to contact her now. Although the memory bank lacked a search engine, he could still recall some things when he encountered a thorn, such as Keywords or someone.

In the conversation with Zeta Jones, Adrian vaguely recalled some of the things, not many but very critical, so if you want to get more, it’s better to let her dry and say it again. The methods have always been very useful. So after Cindy came, he took her without hesitation.

"Oh...Ed...Tell me...Oh... Did you just fall in love with that woman?" Cindy, who suffered his shock in the room, was screaming unbridled and excited. Asked loudly.

"How is it possible, I only want you now, so mí people's Cindy." Adrian denied the increased efforts.

"I just...I don't believe you...Oh" Cindy, who wanted to make fun of her, was lashed out by the other party even more fiercely.

Almost on the evening of the day when the decision was made, Adrian returned to London with Charlize, Emma, ​​and the crew of the crew, but the props were still in the town of Scotland, and it would take at least two days to return. .

Since it is scheduled to start up in February, Adrian naturally considered the current situation and prepared a countermeasure-the studio rented in London built some woods for shooting early. Although compared to the real woods, the studio built lacks a breath of life, but as long as it is not a long-range lens, plus lights, angles, and editing, the final effect will not be much worse than the real shooting.

In addition, there are still many indoor scenes in the movie itself, such as the wedding of Isabel and Edward II, or the negotiations between Wallace and the Scottish nobles, and the talk between Robert Bruce and his father. Although the crew was allowed to shoot in many classical castles, it was impossible to shoot inside. These castles are basically British national cultural relics, even if moving tiles must be applied, not to mention moving the photography equipment into this fixed Move there.

"Your emotions must be a little more intense, knowing that you have just won the title of protector of the country, which means that you will have a greater appeal in Scotland, and Scotland will be a big step towards true independence. However, these nobles began to quarrel for the forgiveness, which is undoubtedly very angry. The two emotions are woven together, which is much stronger than the emotions, do you understand?" In some dilapidated halls, Adrian tells the hero like this.

"Yes, sir, I see." The other party nodded immediately, looking very respectful.

This is a tall and sturdy man. He looks in his early years. The 6-foot tall man is a little shorter than Adrian, but he is very imposing. Especially when he looks like a character, it is long and scattered. It looks a little dirty. The savage and powerful feeling of leather armor and cloth robe fits the Wallace in the setting.

“Don’t always say ‘I understand’, Russell, what I need is that you really understand, not on your lips, but when you are shooting, you start to be confused.” Adrian said unkindly.

"I know what it feels like. When I was in high school, I formed a band with a few classmates. Once, I signed a resident singing contract with a bar, but I sang for one night because of interest issues. And the trouble broke up, the original good feelings became fragmented, and then the contract was cancelled before the deadline. I always remember this. Although I am no longer angry, I still remember that kind of thing. Feeling." Russell said seriously.

Adrian looked at him for a while, then patted his shoulder: "Very good, don't let me down."

Follow him and wave his hand to the middle-aged actor who was standing in the distance and shaved his head for the movie: "Will, prepare to promote Russell again. The others, each in place, start again immediately."

Russell Crowe, this is the actor that Adrian has found to replace Mel Gibson to play Wallace. The Australian is 30 years old and has only officially started playing roles in movies in the past few years. Hollywood has ups and downs, and although there are several outstanding characters, it can always be up and down on the second line.

Therefore, after receiving the invitation from Adrian, he agreed without hesitation. In Hollywood today, not to mention his second-line actors, even those who are really big-name stars, expect to receive To the invitation of Miracle Director.

It sounds exaggerated but it is an indisputable fact. The appeal of Adrian comes from two points. Needless to say the first point. Which of the two best Oscars in the last two Oscars has nothing to do with him? What's more, the movie he fought for was either a big box office sale or an excellent reputation. Last year's "Forrest Gump" became an Oscar hit without exception.

As for the second point, it is also the most important point, as long as the actor he designated is successful without exception, John Travolta and Julia Roberts because he walked out of the trough, Dennis Nay Special, Will Smith because of his brand new head, which Monica has no acting skills? Bellucci also became a hot actress because of him, Tom? Hanks saw the re-election because of him Hope for the best actor.

Therefore, it is rumored that he has a golden finger in the circle. Once who is designated to play what role, he will either get a high box office or a high reputation. In this case, as long as the actor can’t sit still- No, not only the actors, but the new directors and new producers also expect one day to be invited by Adrian. Jane De Bonte, Michael Bay and Jerry Brookheimer are examples of this.

So Russell not only agreed, but also did his homework very seriously, not only found William? Wallace and the real "brave heart" Robert? Bruce-that is, the last one in the movie inherited the legacy of Wallace The Scottish aristocracy-the information and the characters in the script are compared and compared~IndoMTL.com~I also continue to consult Adrian through various methods, with a very respectful and sincere attitude.

Therefore, the last doubt in Adrian’s heart was also dispelled. Generally speaking, when he appoints a person, it means that there will be many opportunities for them since then, but Russell Crowe is a little unhappy with him. , Because this guy is similar to him in some ways. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, you will not like guys like yourself, not to mention...

However, Adrian is not a narrow-minded person. Crowe's lowered posture shows that his look is good. As long as he maintains this look in the future, Adrian doesn't mind letting him get his due honor in advance. Of course, if you can’t, Adrian doesn’t mind letting Crowe finish, anyway, there are many people who changed their destiny because of him-especially those who should have been starry, but are likely to become silent. It doesn't matter which one.

With the baffle in the hands of the scene down, the camera began to turn again, and Wallace kneeling in the middle was preparing to accept Jinfeng. Apart from the male and female protagonists, most of them are British actors, such as Angus playing Robert or Will who is performing a ceremony for Russell. Because of the Howard Manor filmed in 1992, Adrian has met many British actors. Their acting skills are not bad, the cost is relatively cheap, and they are in line with historical periods. If they are not used, it will be too expensive.
